I was asked to pass this on and I will gladly do
so!! Will you???

No one has been able to explain to me why young men
and women serve in the U.S. Military for 20 years, risking their lives
protecting freedom, and only get 50% of their pay on retirement. While
Politicians hold their political positions, in the safe confines of the
capital, protected by these same men and women, and receive full-pay retirement
after serving one term. It just does not make any sense.

If each person who receives this will forward it on
to 20 people, in three days, most people in The United States of America will
have the message. This is one proposal that really should be passed around.

Proposed28th Amendment to the United
States Constitution:

"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the
United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or
Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators
and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the
United States."

"If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice,"
and these brave soldiers have given you that right!!

God bless our men
and women who proudly serve and have served, their families for supporting them
and a grateful nation and world for all you have and continue to do.

Loyalty Duty Respect Selfless service Honor Integrity and Personal courage is what I gained from volunteering and joining the United States Armed Forces as a Paratrooper in the 82d ABN and serving with 7th SFG. I don't expect much from those who had better things to do than keep America and free people around the World. I do appreciate the families of the men and women who are grateful worldwide. I do not have time nor compassion anymore for those who would judge, blame or protest against the men and women who sacrificed time away from their loved ones, have been injured or lost their lives in the defense of freedoms they enjoy with no sacrifice or concern of anything but their own well being and liberty.
